The  Introdudion. 

THE  keeping  a  ntgifier  of  MtmorahU  Oc 
currenceiy  as  it  has  been  the  praAice  of 
former  AKe»i  fo  >«  ought  to  be  con- 
tinued for  the  advantage  of  Potteritv : 
And  in  as  much  as  the  Divino  Providence  has  pla- 
ced me*ncar  the  Seat  of  Aftion,  where  I  have 
had  greater  Opportunities  than  many  others  of 
remarkirg  the  Cruelty  and  Perfidy  of  the  Indian 
Enemy,  1  thought  it  my  Duty  to  keep  a  Record 
thereof.  Not  that  at  firft  I  defign'd  to  make  thele 
Memiiri  publick  bat  now  am  perfwaded  to  it  by 
Some  whofe  Judgment  I  pay  •  deference  unto. 
In  the  colleaing  them,  I  have  us'd  all  faithful- 
nefs;  and  have  been  aflifted  therein  not  only

KOT  that  I  am  unfenfible  that  many  have  (tig- 
matizM  the  Englifii  as  chiefly  culpable  in  caufing 
the  firft  Breach  between  them  and  us ;  by  invad- 
ing their  Properties,  and  defrauding  them  in 
their  Dealings :  But  to  oeniure  the  Publick  for 
the  finifter  AAions  of  a  few  private  Perrom,  is 
utterly  repugnant  to  Reafon  and  Equity,  fifpe- 
cially  confidering  the  great  Gare  that  the  Ltp- 
fistive  Power  had  taken  to  proteft  the  Natives, 
and  their  Interefts. 

WHAT  hath  formerly  occur'd  of  this  kind  is 
none  of  my  bufinefs  to  difcant  upon  here ;  but 
as  to  the  InfraAion  which  I  am  about  to  make 
mention  of,  I  never  yet  heard  the  leaft  Word  in 
their  favour,  hat  all  forts  of  Perfons  do  condemn 
their  Perfidy.  ^  „     .     ^

informed,  thtt  feveral  AOJ/ionsriis  from  the  Fryers

ed  to  break  the  Union,  and  feduoe  them  from

were  at  firm  at  the  Mountains,  and  (hould  conti-

Inftances  in  the  late  Treaty,  wherein  the  match- 
lefs  Perfidy  of  thefe  bloody  Infidels  did  notorn 
oafly  appear,    jft-  As  the  Treaty  was  concluded 
with  Volleys  on  both  fides,  as  I  faid  before,  the 
Jndiant  defired  the  Englifh  to  fire  firft,  which  they 
readily  did,  concluding  it  no  other  but  a  Com- 
plement) but  fo  fbon  as  the  Indians  fired,  it  was. 
obferv'd  that  their  Guns  were  charg'd  with  Bul-

The  fuVprized  People  made  what  refiftance  they

but  fearing  a  purfuit,  difmift  one  of  thewound-

veral Guns  to  very  good  advantage,  which  pre- 
vented any  fiirther  attempt.    As  for  ihofe  at  ¥4-

It  a  confiderible  diftahce  from  us,  in  a  Ctnnoo, 
and  To  immediately  recalled  him.:  And  foon  aftev 
we  heard  the  firing  of  a  Gun  up  the  River.  Up-* 
on  which  we  concluded  ro  keep  dole  till  Sun-^ 
Ut ;  and  then  if  we  could  make  any  further  Dif- 
covery  of  the  Enemy,  to  attick  them,  if  po(fible, 
in  the  Night.  And  accordingly,  when  the  Evcnr 
ing  can^  'on,  we  mov'd  towards  the  River,  and 
foon  peioeived  a  Si»0i«,  at  about  half  a  Miles 
diftance^as  we  tho't,  where  we  (afterwards)  found 
they  had  taken  op  their  Lodging.    But  fo  great 
was  the  Difficulty,  that  (tho'  we  uied  our  ucmoft 
Care  and  Diligence  in  it)  we  were  not  able  to 
make  the  approach  till  about  Two- a  Clock  in 
the  Morning,  when  we  came  within  Twelvtf 
Rdds  of  the  l^^«M,  where  they  lay.    But  here 
we   met   with  a  new  Difficulty,   which   we 
feared  would  havt  roin'd  ihe  whole  Defign:  Fob 
the  Qtound  was  fa  covered  over  with  dry  Sticks 
and  Brulh,  for  the  fpace  of  five  Rods,  that  we 
cott^  not  pafi,  without  making  fiich  a  Craektmg, 
aswe  tho\  would  alarm  the  Enemy,  dnd  gtv<l 
thetn^Tfmeto  eTcipe.  But  while  we  were  conttir 
ving  to  compafs  our  Defign,  God  in  his  good 
Providence  fo  ordered,  that^  very  jmMll  Qoud  a^ 
rdfe^  which  gave  a  frfiart  CUp  of  thimder,  and  a 
fttdden  Shower  of  Rain.    And  this  Opportunity 
we  embraced,  to  run  thorow  the  Thicket;  and 
(b  came  uridifcovered  within  fight  oiiht1Vigw0iii^ 
and  peritfived  by  their  Noife,  that  the  Enemy

l,y  Sampfon  her  bloody  Matter,  who  without  any 
Provocation  was  refolved  to  hang  her;  and  for 
want  of  a  Rope,  made  ufe  of  his  Girdle,  which 
when  he  bad  faftned  about  her  Neck>  attempted 
to  hoife  her  up  on  the  limb  of  a  Tree,  (that  hung 
in  the  nature  of  a  Gibkit)  but  in  hoifing  her,  th« 
Weight  of  her  Body  broke  it  afunder  j  which  fo 
cxaiperated  the  cruel  Tyrant,  that  he  made  a  fa" 
cond  at'tempt,  refolving  that  if  he  fail'd  in  that, 
t(/  knock  her  on  the  head :  But  before  he  had 
power  to  eflfcft  it,  Bomafetn  caitie  along,  wba 
feeing  the  Tragedy  on  foot,  prevented  the  fatM 

A  fecond  was  a  Child  of  Mrs.  HmH«h  Tarfmi 
of  mBs,  whom  the  Inditnt  for  want  of  Food,  had 
determined  to  Roafl  alive,  but  while  the  Are  wt|

Proprietors  did  not  /«"eJo^*^iRh  up  b^  feveral

However  the  Indians  could  not  be  fatisfied,  but 
fo  threatned  the  Inhabitants,  that  many  with- 
drew, and  others  were  difcouraged  from  going  to 
Settle.  Soon  after  they  kill'd  many  of  their  Cat- 
tel,  and  commited  many  other  Outrages. 

Nofooner  was  this  Advice  brought  unto  his 
Excellency,  Samuel  Shute  Efq.  who  was  now  Cap- 
tain General  and  Governour  in  Chief,  m  and 
over  the  Provinces  of  the  Majfacbufets-Bay»  and

9U&  1717.  where  a  great  number  of  Initam,  with 
the  Chiefs  of  every  Tribe  accordingly  met.    And 
fome  of  the  Principal  Gentlemen  of  both  Provin- 
ces accompanied  his    ExuUmcy  to  the  place  ap- 
oointed.  The  Complaints  on  each  fide  being  impar^ 
tially  heard  and  debated,  theOriginal  Deeds  from 
the  Ancient  S*^4W<»r«   were  produced  and  ex- 
plained :  having  interpreters  on  Oath-    The  Ac- 
iicles  drawn  up  and  figned  m  the  year  171  J;  were 
again  read  and  ratified,  to  the  feeming  Satisfaai- 
on  of  the   Principal  Sachems;  who   inclined   to 
Peace;  and  imputed  the  late  Mifcarri«ges  unto 
the  young  Men,  but  were  now  refolved  on  a  firm 
Harmony,  and  would  in  no  refpeft  violate  the 
former  Treaties.    Upon  thi?  his  £x«fle«c>  made 
them  feveral  Prefems,  which  they  thankfully  re-

a  flock  of  Sheep  before  them  into  the  Creeks, 
where  without  either  Powder  or  Shot  they  kiird 
at  one  time  four  thoufand  and  fix  hundred  ;  for 
they  followed  them  fo  clofe  that  they  knoekt 
them  down  with  Billets  and  twaddles,  and  fold  A

twelre  Days  j  being  very  much  encouraged  by 
the  influence  of  the  Frygr  that  wts  with  them. 
But  finding  they  could  majce  no  great  impreflion, 
endeavoured  to  undermine  it,  and  had  made  a 
confiderable  progrefs  therein,  till  upon  the  falling 
of  much  Rainj  the  Trenches  caved  in,  which 
caufed  the  feige  to  break  up,  with  the  lofs  of 
twenty  of  them  in  the  lEngagment,  as  we  were 
afterwards  informed.  About  the  fame  time  Capt^ 
Samuel  with  five  others  boarded  Lieut.  Tilton,  as 
he  lay  at  Anchor  a  filhing  near  Damam  Govt : 
They  pinion'd  him  and  his  Brother,  and  beat 
them  very  forely :  But  at  laft  one  got  clear  and 
releafed  the  other ;  who  then  fell  with  great  Fu- 
ry upon  the  Indians,  threw  one  over- board,  and 
mortally  wounded  two  more> 

Capt.  Savage,  Capt.  Blin,  and  Mr.  Newton,  who 
at  this  time  were  coming  from  Annaftlu,  and 
knew  nothing  of  their  Ravages,  went  into  'Paffa' 
matfuady  for  Water.  They  were  no  (boner  aihore, 
but  found  themfelves  hem'd  in  by  a  Body  of  /«-

his  way  to  Bo^on :  Thofe  that  he  left  (after

which  hai  fince  been  the  ocbafion  not  only  ofi^ 
vaft  Expence,  but  a  great  effufion  of  Blood. 

The  number  of  VelTels  were  about  fixteen 
which  the  Enemy  took  at  Canfo,  as  they  went  in- 
to the  Harbours  for  their  Neceffity  ;  which  fo 
foon  as  Govcrnour  Pbilipps  was  apprifed  of,  he 
(ummoned  the  feveral  Mafters  afhore  with  the 
Sailors,  and  propofed  the  futing  out  of  two  Sloops 
well  Man'd  for  recovering  the  VeiTelt  and-  Cap- 
tives, which  being  approved  of,  he  forthwith  or- 
dered the  Drums  to  beat  for  Volunteers,  aiid  in 
lefs  then  half  a  day  fixVI  them  out  with- about 
twenty  Men  in  each,  under  the  command  of 
Capt.  Eliot  and  Capt-  R4infoit,  vtrho  freely  oi{<n^ed

other,  he  got  firfl  to  a  Harbour  call'd  Winfagui, 
where  he  difcovered  fome  VeiTeh,  and  bore  d(- 
reaiy  downiipon  them,  'till  hocame  pretty  near. 
The  Iniitnt  being  flufh't  with  Succefs,  and  having 
thirty  nine  on  board  onQ  of  the  ^hSiAi  yAixA 
they  had  took,  and  feeing  tio  more  Men  on  b69r4

Capt.  Eliot  being  ill  of  his  Wounds,  was  obliKd 
to  return,  carrying  with  him  &ven  VeiTds  into

hundred  Quintals  of  Fifb,  and  two  heads  of  the 
Chiefs  of  thofe  lndl»n$  that  were  among  them. 
Upon  this  the  Governour  ordered  the  fame  Sloop 
back  with  a  frefh  fupply;  of  Men  to  reinforce 
Capt.  Rtbinfon,  who  in  a  Week  after  brought  in 
two  IttJitm  Scalps,  a  Scooner  and  a  Sloop  which 
they  took  at  Mailegajh» 

After  that  he  met  with  a  French  Man  and  an 
£»^/i/2i  Captive,  who  informed  of  a  Body  of  inM- 
•nt  and  live  Veflels  that  lay  at  a  little  diftance, 
which  be  immediately  went  in  purfuit  of;  but 
fearing  the  event,  was  not  willing  at  firft  to  en-»

three  Canoos  with  three  InAians  in  each  double

as  the  reft  lay  on  their  Paddles,  whom  they 
treatediriendly  in  expeAation  of  a  greater  Prize*

Upon  this  they  lir'd  upon  thofe  in  the  Canoes,

The  Enemy  not  finding  fo  great  encoutagi

were  now  refolved  to  turn  Pirates,  and  according- 
ly intercepted  fevcral  of  our  Fifliery  as  they  went 
in  and  out  the  Harbours  for  Wood,  Water,  or  in

of  fifty  Canoos,  who  dcfign  d  at  ficfl  for  Monbt-

feveral  Veffels  at  Anchor,  fucprizcd  eight  with

Men,  twenty  of  whom  they  put  to  Death,  refer- 
ving  tlie  Skippers  and  bcft  Sailors  to  Navigate

with  the  affiftance  of  the  Cape  Sable  Jndianty  be- 
came fo  powerful  and  defperate,  that  at  firft  they 
terrified  all  Veffels  that  lail'd  along  the  Eafiern 
Shore.    They  then  went  to  St.  Georges  with  a  dc- 
fign to  bum  that  Garrifon ;  in  order  whereto, 
they  fill'd'  a  couple  of  Shallops  with  cumbuftible 
matter,  which  they  fet  on  fire,  but  it  was  happily 
extinguiflied.    They  then  offered  terms  on  fur- 
rendering  vvhich   were  rejeded.    And  finding 
that  neither  Force  nor  Infinuation  would  prevail 
they  withdrew,  and  fail'd  to  Annapolst,  cxpcaing 
to  furprize  the  Fort  j  but  firing  at  a  Soldier  in 
their  March,  gave  an  Alarm  ;  and  a  detachment 
ilTued  forth  j  who  after  a  fmart  difpute  gave  them 
«  perfea  rout,  but  not  without  lofs  on  our  fide. 

The  Fifherf  being  thus  invaded,  two  Shallops 
with  about  forty  Men  well  fixt  went  from  New-

''April  i^th.  I7if  there  came  two  Indians  to 
Mae^Hoitf  and  took  one  Coekramj  a  Soldier  of  a- 
bout  eighteen  years  of  Age,  whom  they  carried 
thirty  Miles  into  the  Woods.    The  firft  night 
they  pinioned  him,  but  left  him  loofe  the  fecond. 
He  took  an  opportunity  Casthey  wereafleep,)  to 
knock  them  both  on  the  head,  Scalpt  'em  and 
brought  their  Scalps  away  with  him,  and  theic 
Qunl    But  in  his  return  he  was  fo  unhappy  as 
to  loofe  a  Qun,  and  one  of  rhe  Scalps,  in  fording 
over  a  River*    When  he  came  to  the  Garrifon 
Mtd  gave  an  account  of  the  whole  affair,  there 
v^entont  a  Party  the  next  Morning  and  found  the 
Indians  both  dead  according  to  the  information.

it's  faid,  that  he  and  his  Adverfary  fell  at  the 
very  inftant  by  each  others  Shot.  Mr.  FanwtU 
held  out  in  his  return  till  the  eleventh  day ;  du-

ter  and  a  few  Roots  which  he  chewed  j  and  by

he  could  not  tafte  abit.  Davh  being  now  alone 
in  a  melancholy  defolate  ftate,  ftill  made  toward 
the  Fort.and  next  day  came  to  it,  where  he  found 
fome  Pork  and  Bread,  by  which  he  was  enabled 
to  return  as  before-mentioned. 

luft  as  I  had  finiflied  this  Account,  I  faw  the 
m$me»l  Aitmoirs  of  the  ingenious  Mr.  Symmes, 
wherein  I  find  two  things  remarkable,  which  I 
had  no  account  of  before :  One  was  of  Lieut. 
Rokin$,  who  being  fenfible  of  his  dy  mg  ftate,  de- 
fired  one  of  the  Company  to  charge  his  Gun 
and  leave  it  with  him,  being  perfwaded  that  the 
jnJians  by  the  Morning  would  coma  and  fcalp 
him.  but  was  deHrousof  kiUing  one  more  be- 
fore he  died.    The  othef  was  of  Solomm  Kns, 
who  being  wounded  in  three  places,  loft  to  much 
Blood  as  difabled  him  to  ftand  any  longer ;  but

Morrow ;  who  after  a  friendly  Entertainment 
were  difmlft.    The  next  day  their  whole  Body 
came  within  a  quarter  of  a  Mile  of  the  Garrifon 
defiring  the  Englifh  to  come  to  them ;  which  they 
refufed,  faying,  that  they  were  fent  from  the 
fevcral  Gwttnmtnu  to  hear  what  they  had  to 
offer ;  but  affured  them  thit  if  they  came  to  them 
no  injury  Ihould  be  ofTered.    After  a  (hort  con- 
fultation  they  comply'd,  provided  that  the  Engh^ 
would  engage  it  in  the  Name  of  God.     And  then 
they  fent  in  thirteen  of  their  Chiefs,  expeding 
the  like  number  of  Ettglijh  to  be  fent  them.    So 
foonasthey  met,  the  Commiffioners  demanded 
what  they  had  to  offer,  who  complimented  them 
with  the  great  fatisfaftion  they  had  in  feeing 
them  in  fo  peaceable  a  difpofition,  and  that  it  was 
alfo  the  intent  and  defire  of  their  hearts.    It  was 
thenask'd  wherefore  they  made  War  upon  the 
Englifh  i  Who  replied,  bectufc  of  their  Encroach- 
ments upon  their  Lands  fo  far  mfiward  as  Cafe-  ^ 
iJswaetn,  where  two  of  their  Men  as  they  faia 
were  beaten  to  Death.    Unto  which  twas  an- 
fwered.  That  that  very  Lind  was  bought  by  the 
E»f/i/b,  and  that  the  Deeds  from  their  Prcdecef- 
fours  were  ready  to  be  (hewn  j  And  admitting  it 
was  true  what  they  faid,  that  the  Englifh  did  fo 
inhumanly  beat  two  of  their  Indians,  yet  it  was 
not  juftifiable  in  them  (according  to  the  Articles 
of  Peace)  to  commence  a  War  at  once,  without 
firfl  making  Application  to  the  Govrnment,  who 
at  all  times  were  ready  to  do  them  juftice.  '   ^ 

This  Conference  being  over,  they  propos  d  a 
further  treaty  ;  which  after  feme  debate  was  re- 
folved  to  be  uiB^Sm,   They  then  moved  for  a
